This is where you can stick your beads! Proper storage and organization of your beads, findings, tools and stringing materials is an often overlooked necessity until you are overwhelmed with clutter. Proper storage ensures that each and every one of your beloved beads, pendants or gems is protected from spillage. Having your seed beads and fire polished beads separated by size, color and finish is absolutely crucial to a fun and functional beading experience. Thats why we have so many great storage and organization options to choose from. Beading trays are great for having each style and color of bead organized for a single project, while larger storage cases that latch shut are great for traveling and holding your prized beads for longer periods of time.

Hematite is an iron ore highly popular in bead and jewelry designs. Nearly all Hematite beads on the market are man made materials (ours too), but are still an iron ore and have the same chemical make up as natural hematite. The name Hematite stems from the Greek word "Haem" for blood as natural hematite holds a reddish tint, while commercially available hematite beads do not. Hematite has been used for eons, even by pre-historic man for cave paintings. Man Made Hematite is often magnetized and used in magnetic therapy jewelry. Hematite beads look great with Swarovski crystal or fire polished beads!
